A Prospective Study

A prospective study of over 100 cases comparing computerized tomography (CT) and correlating these studies with photographic motion picture studies of the larynx, conventional tomography and contrast laryngography has been performed. The authors give illustrative examples of cases in which the CT scan has been documented as providing equal and oftentimes greater information concerning not only tumors, but also cystic lesions and traumatic lesions. With the newer technology, the reduced radiation (which is less than one half that of conventional tomography), and the decreased expense (now comparable to that of laryngography alone), eliminates the need for conventional laryngography and tomography examinations. The incorporation of motion picture documentation of the lesions allowing future comparative studies between the original lesion and the CT are recommended for a more accurate retrospective classification and assessment of therapeutic results.

Wrist Fusion

Fifteen patients with radioscapholunate (RSL) fusion for traumatic lesions of the radiocarpal junction, whose short-term results have been previously reported, were reassessed after an average follow-up time of 8 years. Five patients had undergone wrist fusion because of non-union or early progressive arthritis. Of the ten wrists with retained mobility, eight continued to function satisfactorily. Two wrists were painful for reasons other than secondary midcarpal arthritis. Patient satisfaction was comparable in both groups with the wrist score better for wrists with residual motion. The survival of RSL partial wrist fusion corresponded inversely with the number of preceding operations and the range of motion before partial fusion. Secondary midcarpal arthritis, if present, arose early and was well tolerated. Failures were strongly linked to technical mistakes and complications.

AbstractFrom 1980 to 1993, the Danish Radio Medical Advice Service (RMAS) had 1136 contacts from overseas Danish merchant ships and 213 contacts from Danish territorial waters. The diagnoses were almost always of acute conditions. The distributions of the diagnoses in the overseas contacts were; disease in the digestive and genitourinary system 30%, traumatic lesions 23%, infectious diseases 14% and diseases in the cardiovascular and respiratory system 9%. The only trend over the years was a significant (P = 0.01) decreases in psychiatric diagnosis. Evacuation from the ship was recommended in 53% and medicine was prescribed in 61% of the contacts. The medicine was antibiotics in 40% and analgesics in 29% of the contacts. Intravenous infusion was evaluated as relevant in 5% of the cases and this procedure will be included in the new education of officers on the ships. In the contacts from Danish territorial waters, where many shhips are recreational yachts, evaccuation was recommended in 79% and medicine was prescribed in 28% of the contacts. This was probably due to the short distance to the nearest harbour and the variation in medical equipment and knowledge. The medical speciality for doctors participating in RMAS shhould be general surgery or orthopaedic surgery but access to advice from all other medical specialities should be available. Experience as a nnaval medical officer would be beneficial. The education of the officers on the ships should be more comprehensive including e. g. intravenous infusion. Commmunication should be by telephone and television would be an advanntage.

Unusual Case Report

Dentists often find foreign bodies in the primary dentition of children who habitually place objects in their mouths. The objects are frequently embedded in exposures that result from carious or traumatic lesions or from endodontic procedures that have been left open for drainage. Such bodies are often detected on routine radiographs and, less frequently, during clinical examination. We report a case of a 6-year-old boy who had inadvertently embedded a screw in his mandibular right first primary molar and had forgotten about it until it became symptomatic. The screw was impacted in the exposed pulp chamber due to a large carious lesion in the affected molar. This case report considers the possible medical and dental consequences of placing foreign bodies in the mouth.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Mri

Eighteen consecutive patients with spinal cord symptoms of sudden or relatively sudden onset were examined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The examinations were performed on a 0.3 tesla permanent/resistive imaging system using solenoidal surface coils. MRI revealed epidural tumour in five patients, intramedullary tumour in one, epidural abscess in one, myelitis in two, spontaneous intraspinal epidural haematoma in two, disc herniation in two, traumatic lesions in four and no abnormality in one patient. MRI was found to be capable of non-invasively and painlessly detecting and exactly defining the extent of intraspinal and paraspinal lesions. In some cases the nature of the lesion could be inferred from specific signal characteristics, which is a unique property of MRI. The results strongly suggest that MRI is superior to myelography and other imaging methods and should be regarded as the examination of choice in the emergency examination of patients with spinal cord symptoms.
